For the second straight week demonstrators gathered in downtown Los Angeles police to protest the immigration policies recently instated by President Donald Trump.
The Los Angeles Police Department said protesters had entered La Plaza en El Pueblo and urged other members of the public to use caution in the area as the "non-permitted" demonstration continued.
No arrests were announced in Sunday's gathering, just two days after a teenage boy was stabbed during a similar protest.
During early protests, attendees blocked portions of the 101 Freeway and prompted a massive response from local law enforcement. On the second day of rallies, more than 200 people were detained by LAPD officers as their daylong protest continued late into the evening.
